No need for the personal insults. Galway retired a team on their last leg's, probably their best result since 2001 Well done JimB1991 (Donegal) - Posts: 191 - 06/06/2026 00:04:33 2678260 Link 0 |

Strong showing by the U17 footballers 25 mins played and were leading 0-10 to 0-6. Tyrone with 1-2 to take the lead, Galway responded with two two pointers for a deserved lead at the break. Half time Tyrone 1-8 Galway 0-15 Drax_the_destroyer (UK) - Posts: 890 - 06/06/2026 14:38:30 2678307 Link 0 |

Tyrone 3-17 Galway 0-19. Hard luck to the young Tribesmens. Final scoreline not a fair reflection for the effort put in but goals wins games as was the case in the Connacht final also. Strong last 15 minutes by Tyrone to outscore Galway 2-5 to 0-1. Drax_the_destroyer (UK) - Posts: 890 - 06/06/2026 15:30:47 2678317 Link 0 |

Well beaten in the end. Only for the two pointers in the first-half, we'd have been out of it a lot sooner. Tyrone scored 3-17 in old money. We got 15 scores. Only managed 0-04 against the wind, whereas they got 1-08. They cut us open for the first two goals and could have had a few more. Apart from one half-chance early enough, we never threatened a goal. They're only young lads and will hopefully continue to develop. We're a good bit off at the moment, which is a worry. That was said to be our best minor team for a good few years. Tyrone were much better at carrying the ball and breaking tackles. We got turned over when we tried to take them on. This made a huge difference when playing against the wind. No standout ball winner around the middle either, but some good kickers. Underage has been slack now for a good few years in Galway. It doesn't bode well for when some of our older seniors start to call it a day. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2871 - 06/06/2026 15:44:41 2678321 Link 0 |

Thought the minors played pretty well to be honest. I've seen nearly all their games in Connacht and that might have been their best performance. 7 point defeat wasn't really a fair reflection of a game that was close throughout. Galway turned down a fair few handy point chances late on as they were hunting for a goal. Tyrone then got a breakaway goal right at the end to make it look worse. Big problems winning kick out though. especially against the breeze in the second half. Marooned (Galway) - Posts: 2551 - 06/06/2026 16:03:12 2678326 Link 1 |

A small bit critical in your view there. Galway was the better team 1st half, Tyrone goal against the run of play and only leading by 4 points at half time came back to bite. The 2nd Tyrone goal on 45 mins to level the game allowed them to kick on and close the contest out on Galway. 7 point margin was flattering but doesn't help when you gift a 3rd goal late on and your decision making becomes poor when chasing the game late on.

Gannon, O'Neachtain and Evan Burke look the pick of the bunch who could go on an make a mark with the u20s and hopefully Senior. Healy looks a good player but might get swallowed up in the Corofin machine. The Michael Breathnachs lads will most likely be trust into Senior club football alot sooner than the Claregalway, Corofin or Tuam contingent, possibly even next season. It will be an interesting u17 club championship as well, will be keeping an eye on it. Tuam won the north A league and Salthill/K won the west but this doesn't reflect where teams are at with all the county players to come back in. Michael Breathnachs will be favourites to lift the u17 A title you'd assume.
